Great Quick Minestrone Recipe for Dog Lovers and Others!

You know...it's all about us and our products but I thought I'd put in a fantastic recipe for minestrone soup....perfect for these bitterly cold New England winter days. As a non-Italian (I'm as English/Scottish as they come), I thought I did quite well when I won a local paper recipe contest with this one! My Sicilian sister-in-law thought that was a "hoot." Of course, the recipe would really go well in our custom recipe boxes (but more about that later...here's the recipe).

Have you ever wanted a recipe box that could hold all your large 4 x6 cards without "squishing' them into the box? (or one specifically for 3 x 5 cards) Take a look at our custom designed, hand-painted solid wood boxes that can be made to accommodate either size and come in both single and double widths. I just love mine! The lid tilts to hold the recipe so it isn't laying on the counter where it can easily get ruined. This photo is of a double oak box that holds the 4x6 cards.

Hey You two! I couldn't resist posting on your blog. I found you at Alice. When i read that you have a smock but it was covering the birdcage I laughed. That's where mine is!! Your memorial boxes are a wonderful idea. Not surprised folks are attracted to them Good luck with it. Stay warm up there!Ronnie - in a small town in Georgia
